About Parpan
Parpan stands at 1,493 m in the Churwalden valley between Chur and Lenzerheide, and has only a few hundred residents. It was first recorded in 1208 and since 2010 has been part of the Churwalden municipality. A small castle, the Schlössli, built in the mid-16th century and extended in 1675, stands near a late-Gothic church and is a Swiss heritage site of national significance. Our homes are tightly grouped. None has a private garden or a pool, and they mostly sleep around four, with a good number having a fireplace. The Parpan cross-country centre starts a 12 km loop to Mittelberg and Capfeders, and the village has its own access to the Rothorn slopes.
Is Parpan right for you?
- Best for
